Below is a post I made in another thread here, but it certainley backs up yours.

"Did you ever stop to wonder why for the most part there is not a high amount of posting on threads you are in? Your style is not applicable to a dialog! You do not win debates you just disgust people enough that they do not bother, it’s just not worth it.

It’s easy to see why you and a couple others here got into so much trouble in other forms. Only saying that because you mentioned other places.

I for one limit my time on here and even wonder if I should lower myself to post in your version of liberal leftwing bullshit and personal writing tactics...

Just in case you did not get it I will repeat. You and your crew do not win debates you just piss off people so they do not bother to respond to your garbage! "
Maybe ... maybe not ... how come this sticky is still up on CFPR&C ?


Old reminder and new guideline PSA (please read) - Corvette Forum


Reminder: personal insults for the most part get deleted or edited out of posts. Sometimes we lock a thread or move it to the Boneyard when the insults become the discussion.
And sometimes, the insults are straight up vulgar and over the top, and not only do the posts go away, but the person who wrote them goes to camp.

This forum has been getting uglier and nastier of late, and that trend is over. Things are going to get more civil around here one way or the other.

New guideline: I already had a rule about threats of violence directed at the President or other officials, as it is actually a violation of the law to write or say such things, and neither IB or CF specifically need that nonsense on their site.
The rule was an automatic month off with no discussion or warning.

Well, recently several folks have been advocating killing someone or some group with alarming frequency, and I have gotten a bunch of reports and PMs about just about every post of that kind.

So I am now extending my PR&C guideline against typed advocating/threatening of violence by removing the Obama/official distinction.

Now, if I see things that in my estimation even imply advocating or threatening of violence towards anyone, real or imagined, joking or not, I swing the ban hammer. I am already no big fan of Internet tough guys, but some of the stuff typed recently could actually constitute cause for CF and IB to get in trouble, and that simply will not be tolerated.

So everyone is clear, my current definition of ban worthy violence includes anything about killing or doing serious bodily harm.

With that said, to all Internet lawyers - my definition doesn't need to be exact, and can be subjective because your posting PRIVILEGES are by invitation, and that invitation is not a right and exists so long as you conduct yourself according to CF's rules and guidelines.

As always, opposing viewpoints and heated debate are the order of the day, but we can have heated, even passionate debate without resorting to threats, violence or vulgarities. Participation is most definitely encouraged, we just need to clean it up and get a bit more civil about it.

Thank you for your consideration and cooperation.
